Try this:
1) On your iPhone, navigate to Settings > Wi-Fi
2) Select the network you wish to connect with and clicked "Forget this Network" to start from scratch
3) Navigate back to the main Wi-Fi menu
4) Selected "Other..." to manually enter in my network name and password information
5) After manually entering the network name and password information, you may be able to successfully connect

Worked for me! I didn't have to turn off my router or the wi-fi on my iPhone for this to work.

Thanks, this worked great!! I jusrt recently put my wi-fi at password protection and was having huge issues! So please tell me, will I have to do this everytime I walk into my house or try to use it?? Thanks!

I have a PC and a b/g westell router (from verizon). What am i doing wrong and how do i find the correct Router # to enter in the phone. I have connected both with regular WEP password and the HEX style. Thats not the problem. Oh, and when i do connect to the network no numbers come up automatically for the IP, Subnet, Router, and DNS.

Please help.

Hey Hill,
I know it's of no help - but I have exactly the same problem as you. The iPhone somehow is not receiving or processing the DHCP lease - hence you never get the IP address information. The WiFi is a bit scatterbrain as well - it may be a fault in the phone - take it back for a replacement maybe?

hi guys i had the same problem my iphone found my router and connected to it but was unable to open a site although it worked fine with my laptop..and all security was disabled.....then i put wep security and chose the 64bit ACsomething setting other than the hexadecimal....my iphone found the ntwork but the same problem remained so in the end after reading numerous threads from various sites i gave up on it...one day out of coincidence i turned my wifi on and rather than choosing my connection i clicked on other i selected the security put the name of my network and the code...and IT WORKED i dont know if this helps u guys or not just tryin to help and i didnt put any special sttings in my router as i dont know much abt networking and stuff and u would have to forget ur existing network first before choosing other...
